Other comments: Rabha has a decimal system. According to Dr. U.V. Jose' recent data, the Rabha people has completely adopted Assamese numeral system now. The remnant of the old Rahba numeral system (up to and only up to 3) surfaces in the classifier constructions where native Rahba classifiers are used. Dr. Ch. Yashawanta Singh's old data (second column) had recorded traditional Tibeto-Burman numerals up to 200. Rabha has two tones; High ( marked with accent mark) and Low (unmarked). Rabha or Rava is spoken by approximately 140,000 speakers in Assam, Nagaland, West Bengal, Meghalaya states, northeast India.
